Legendary Sunday Roasts

Yes, we serve Sunday lunch from 12pm until 6pm every Sunday. We only serve Sunday lunch on Sundays.

The Yew Tree is family friendly and we have high chairs available. We also have a lovely outdoor space with grass. We ask that children are supervised at all times.

Yes, we have a vegetarian Sunday lunch option available every Sunday.

Yes – we love welcoming four-legged friends. Dogs are allowed throughout the pub (not just the beer garden), and there’s always a bowl of water and a gravy bone waiting for them.

Absolutely. Our pub is as cosy for canines as it is for their humans – ideal after a wet-weather fell walk.

We always recommend booking, especially on Sundays and school holidays. You can book online at www.theyewtree1628.com/reservations

Expect locally sourced meats, proper roasties, giant Yorkies, rich homemade gravy and all the trimmings – plus a vegetarian option every week. View our Sunday Roast menu here.

We’re right on the route to some of the Lake District’s most iconic Wainwrights – like Castle Crag, Glaramara and Dale Head. We're a popular starting or finishing point for fell walks, and there’s plenty of parking.

There’s a large National Trust car park directly opposite the pub, with plenty of space. Perfect if you’re popping in for a roast or heading out for a walk before tucking in.

Absolutely – and we’d highly recommend it. The 77/77A scenic circular bus runs right past our door, making it a brilliant (and more sustainable) way to explore Borrowdale. It’s a cracking route with views to match and it drops you just a stone’s throw from our front step. Why not leave the car behind, soak up the scenery and let someone else do the driving?
